While one might think that the world is divided between those who have tall fences surrounding their back yards and everyone else, this does not mean that those without cannot grow cannabis them selves.
When you grow cannabis indoors, you can control the environment and create optimal growing conditions. To make things even easier on yourself, look for seeds that are specifically designed to grow well indoors.
Why should you grow marijuana indoors?
There are a number of benefits of growing cannabis indoors, but the main one is control.
When you grow plants indoors, you can decide what kind of environment they’re in, including the light exposure, how much airflow and water they get, and what nutrients they receive. Not only does an indoor grow protect your plants from curious neighbors, but it also confinements the cannabis scent to avoid alerting everyone in the vicinity. Surprisingly, indoor grows can produce a lot of yield despite lack of space–making it feasible for those who don’t have outdoor space to instead grow weed in places like a closet or spare cupboard.
What types of strains are best for growing indoors?
When growing cannabis indoors, there are several attributes to look for in order to ensure a successful harvest. For example, shorter and bushier plants do better when confined to smaller indoor spaces like grow tents or grow boxes. Additionally, strains that have a shorter flowering time tend to be more popular with small-scale home growers. There are three main attributes one should take into account when choosing an indoor strain:
- Grow height/size
- Flowering time
- Yield size
Indica strains are typically shorter and take less time to flower, while autoflowering strains grow more quickly.
What is the best yielding indoor strain?
Several things will affect the yield of your indoor plants, such as light, nutrients, and caretaking. However, some strains are well-known to particularly excel in high yielding indoors.
For example, the Strawberry Kush sounds delicious. It’s an indica-dominant hybrid that grows short and compact. Yields are 16-23 ounces per square meter (1 to 1.5 pounds).
The hybrid White Widow is an old-school cannabis classic that’s easy to grow and can yield more than a pound per square meter. It also doesn’t get too tall, making it ideal for indoor growth.
Keep in mind that there are no standards for strain names: no regulator is checking to see if the White Widow sold by one grower is the same as that from another grower. When looking at aaccurate common and well understood, although strain is more accurate and widely used.
Are All Weed Strains Suitable for Indoor Grows?
Yes, all marijuana strains can be grown indoors. But some varieties are better suited to this environment than others. For example, bush indica and autoflowering strains rarely exceed 120cm in height, which makes them naturally compatible with small spaces.
Indoor growing also allows cultivators more control over their plants’ growth cycles. Photoperiod cannabis varieties only begin to flower when the hours of light decrease in autumn. Indoors, however, growers can change the light cycle to trigger flowering whenever they want by prolonging or shorten the growth phase .
If you want to yield the best results, choose an indoor strain, as they are specially bred for smaller spaces. However, if you have a tall plant already, don’t worry -just put it in a small pot to stunt its growth.
If you are looking to grow weed indoors, consider the following strains. They thrive in small spaces and produce high yields.
HulkBerry
After careful consideration, our talented breeders decided on three key desired traits in the perfect indoor strain: a medium size, excellent productivity, and sky-high levels of THC. To achieve this outcome, they crossed parent strains OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. The emerging polyhybrid that resulted from this crossbreeding met–and even exceeded–all three goals.
HulkBerry is a hybrid with mostly sativa genetics (65%), which becomes apparent in the leaner structure of her flowers. They’s flush with trichomes, resulting in an oily layer of resin that coats the buds and leaves. This potent goo contains high levels of THC (27%) as well as other valuable phytochemicals.
8Wether you’re a beginner or experienced smoker, it’s always wise to take things slow when trying new strains. With her electrifying high and refreshing terpene profile of citrus, diesel, herbs, and pepper, just a couple of hits will be enough to enjoy this bud.
HulkBerry does exceptionally well indoors, with plants heights potentially reaching 140cm. However, if you’re short on space, don’t worry – the use of LST will help keep your plants at a much more manageable 80cm. After 9 to 11 weeks of flowering, you can expect to yield 400 to 450g/m².
Royal Skywalker
Try Royal Skywalker if you want an unforgettable experience that will tantalize your taste buds. Even beginners can master growing this plant indoors; it’s easy and 60% indica, 40% sativa. Our breeders crossed Blueberry with Mazar to create a timeless classic that anyone would enjoy.
Royal Skywalker is popular among growers for her unique flowers; shades of dark green with a hint of black are quite eye-catching. However, most cultivators grow this plant for her high THC level–25%. A content this high ensures that smokers will feel the effects quickly and intensely. The result is a powerful stash that lasts much longer than one composed of weaker flowers. Additionally, Royal Skywalker has an excellent terpene profile featuring notes of blueberry, citrus, and pepper.
If you’re trying to find an easy indoor growing experience, Royal Skywalker is the answer. Within a few days of flipping your lights to a flowering schedule, this plant will begin forming buds over the course of 9-10 weeks. By the end , be prepared to trim and dry up to 600g/m² of frosty flowers.
AMG
Amnesia Mac Ganja, or AMG, is a great choice for your grow tent because she was bred to be cultivated indoors. Our breeders combined renowned sativa-dominant genetics like Amnesia and Mexican Haze to create this 80% sativa strain that excels under artificial lights.
AMG is not only great for indoor growing, but also produces high levels of THC, making it a potent sativa hybrid. When smoked or vaped, her buds pack a powerful punch that will leave you feeling cerebral and creative. AMG’s terpenes work with the psychoactive cannabinoid to produce a grounding feeling, as well as appealing citrus and earthy flavors.
Like most sativas, AMG has a relatively long flowering time of 10 to 11 weeks. However, she makes up for it with yields of up to 500 grams per square meter. Despite her high yield potential, plants rarely exceed 120 cm in height. If you’re short on space, consider main-lining and LST training methods to keep her at a more manageable height of 80 cm.
Mother Gorilla
The Mother Gorilla cannabis strain provides such a euphoric effect that it could even tame the swinging fists of the most agitated silverback. Aside from making you feel like a million bucks, this strains ticks all of the boxes of an excellent indoor variety. It’s super compact, highly productive, and relatively quick to flower. Overall, it offers everything you need if you’re in search of something that will fill your stash jars without taking up too much space in the grow room.
Mother Gorilla is a Cannabis strain that is 70% sativa dominant. It descends from the very popular and world-renowned Gorilla Glue 4, which owes its fame to its high potency. Our breeders created Mother Gorilla by crossing GG4 with Reina Madre. The resultant plant has beautiful green-purple flowers and a THC content of 23%. Additionally, it features a complex terpene profile resulting in flavours ranging from chocolate and earth to Skunk and sourness.
Some people grow plants indoors for reasons of privacy, so it is advantageous to choose varieties that are easy to control and conceal. With LST (low-stress training) and other methods, growers can keep Mother Gorilla at a height of only 60cm. Even at this size, the plant can yield up to 500g/m² over a flowering period of 9–10 weeks.
Mimosa
This type of Mimosa gets its name from its taste. If you like alcoholic drinks with your brunch, then you know how a sip of mimosa can take your taste buds for a ride. The combination of champagne and orange creates an explosion of flavor on the tongue while the bubbles stimulate the mind.
Mimosa’s bong rips or joint hits produce similar effects.

Mimosa flowers are incredibly potent, and thankfully, they’re also easy to grow. Indoors, Mimosa plants can reach up to 80cm in height; if you want to keep them smaller (for stealth purposes), apply some light training and limit their pot size. Even though they’re small, these plants can produce 350-450g/m² of buds after a flowering period of 9-10 weeks.
